Milna felt a bit of heat on his face, like he had just been schooled by the young man sitting across from him...
However, what Mikhail said made sense, and his vision was indeed far greater than his own!
Having studied and lived abroad in the United States, he naturally understood the limitations of Russian internet enterprises.
Milna did not resist the idea of going to Silicon Valley, America, neither did he oppose investing in Western internet giants, for instance, Amazon, which he was very optimistic about.
The problem was, his personal wealth didn't allow him to invest in those internet giants from Silicon Valley...
He had finally found an opportunity to invest in MAIL.RU domestically. His original plan was to take the company public, use it as a stepping stone, and once he had made a substantial amount of capital, then invest in those internet companies he really valued.
Unfortunately, the company encountered the global internet winter soon after it went public.
